How to show and tell: Parsing, a new interpreter model

Author: Wink, MA, MBA, NIC Master

2 hours per module = 1.0 CEUs (PS)
Self Paced

Parsing is an innovative tool that gives interpreters and students a deliberate practice model to enhance their work. It forces users to break English form and to think critically about ASL when generating options for rendering an interpreted message in ASL.

When presented with a flowchart of guided questions, participants discover more effective and reproducible results in message comprehension and translation of the target language. This is parsing: to separate out and compartmentalize the message in order to unpack, understand, and practice English-to-ASL interpreting with detailed steps that utilize the interpreter’s abilities and knowledge of both languages.

Self Paced

Based on his seminal book "Deaf Tend Your" first published in 1996 then re-edited and re-filmed for 2015, comes Dr. Byron Bridges online course "The 5th Parameter: Mouth Morphemes in ASL." This course expands on Deaf Tend Your by providing tools to participants to learn how modifier mouth morphemes can change the meaning of signs and much more. This course is perfect for those who want to practice deliberately and receive feedback on their work. A preview of the course is provided below.

A New Way to Categorize Classifiers/Depicting Verbs

Author: Wink, MA, MBA, NIC Master

Six modules = 1.3 CEUs (PS)
Self Paced

There is a commonly held view that classifiers can be categorized into 8 or more types (e.g., semantic, element, body part). My own research led me to create a workshop called “Classifiers/Depicting Verbs Reduced to Three.” As my research has continued, I now see that those three - entity, tool, and tracing - can be further reduced to just a single type: entity classifiers.

This course first describes the traditional thinking and teaching of classifiers, then identifies redundancies and other problems with this typology. This is followed by an analysis of how individual classifier components are combined with conceptual content and construal in ASL. 

Throughout the course, each module will have at least one quiz, and most modules include assignments. Assignments require submission of signed videos, for which feedback will be provided by Wink (generally via video as well) on your use of these critical components of ASL.
